Prayers of the Last Prophet, ﷺ, : New,
*[A5+] Hardback - 50 pages,
by Yusuf Islam,
Published by Mountain of Light.
Description :
When the believer is in earnest supplication to his Lord he draws himself closer to Him. Though he may be engrossed in personal and private appeal to Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, borne of circumstance, seeking assistance or respite, he is brought nearer.
The very act of supplication (du’a) is an act of remembrance of Allah, a meritorious act that has the ability to bestow solace upon the believer. In making du’a, man affirms his dependence upon God, he places his trust in Him and he praises Him. Allah Most High in return hears his supplication and answers it. This book, as its title suggests, focuses on one particular aspect: prayer, or in Arabic, "du’a." It contains a small selection of Prophetic supplications and Qur’anic verses.
This book has been produced with all humility in an effort to present just a few of the many supplications proffered by the Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ. Structured around phases of the day, these du’as cover a range of everyday activities seeking Allah Most High’s guidance. All are derived from Qur’an and Hadith and are fully authenticated. They are beautifully presented herein along with many exquisite color photographs. Ameen.
Yusuf Islam (born Steven Demetre Georgiou; 21 July 1948), commonly known by his stage name Cat Stevens, and later Yusuf Islam. He is a British singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. His musical style consists of folk, pop, rock, and, in his later career, Islamic music.
In 1975 Cat experienced another momentous and life-changing event. Whilst swimming in the Pacific Ocean off Malibu he began to be swept out to sea. Fearing imminent death he called to God pleading that should he be saved he would dedicate his life to God’s service. At that moment a gentle wave delivered him to the shore and safety. A sequence of events was set in motion and, after receiving a copy of the Qur'an from his brother, he embraced Islam in 1977.
During his Islamic studies Cat felt a powerful affinity with the story of Joseph and decided to take its Arabic equivalent as his new name, becoming Yusuf Islam in 1978. He then amazed the world by walking away from fame and his career as a music star, to start a family and dedicate himself to charitable work.
